DrumKAT Hybrid

Combined with the DITI, the DrumKAT Hybrid is the next generation drumKAT.

Notice that the pad layout and sensor is exactly like the original drumKAT/Turbo but there are some significant differences.

The substrate is condensed and now the drumKAT bracket is permanently built right into the metal.

The metal is much lighter and thinner than the original, but just as strong. The DrumKAT Hybrid weighs under 6 lbs!!

There are no electronics enclosed because like the jamKAT, it uses the brains from the DITI.

The DrumKAT Hybrid contains all of the original functionality found in the drumKAT Turbo. However, unlike it's predecessor, the DITI’s inputs can accept additional membrane switches, dual zone triggers, mesh triggers, controller pedals, and most importantly - FSR Triggers.

You’ll notice a tremendous difference in response... Why… the drumKAT had 64 levels of dynamics… the DITI is capable of seeing 1024 dynamic levels!

Highly Cost Effective… You don’t need to buy expensive controllers for every new layout that you might use. In addition to powering Alternate Mode's DrumKAT Hybrid and jamKAT, the DITI can be used to connect the FSR drumheads, pedals, triggers from nearly all electronic percussion manufacturers, making the DITI the superior universal MIDI Interface

In the next few months, we will be transitioning the powder coating metal and sensor overlays of our malletKAT, vibeKAT and trapKAT products to a new, bright white body.

This beautiful and contemporary look is further enhanced by also including a solid black nylon coating atop of the pads. This coating is not just aesthetic, but provides additional protection of the pads from the sun, rain, and general abuses.

This year, Young Chang, the maker of the Kurzweil sound card, unexpectedly decided to stop manufacturing the sound card for Alternate Mode. We still have some left, but will soon no longer have the KS available as we want to keep a supply of repair boards available.

Ever since the Malletstation was announced last November, many comparisons with the malletKAT were posted on social media. It’s amazing that comparisons were made even before the instrument was released! Now that the product is on the market, it’s time for a more thorough investigation.
